Hi Reader,
Let's face it, job searching is hard. You put in the work polishing your resume, preparing for interviews, following up; only to get silence or a “thanks, but no thanks.”
It’s easy to start taking it personally. Your brain starts telling you: “I’m not good enough,” or “They don’t want me.” And suddenly, your confidence slips, your effort shrinks, and the whole process feels impossible.
On this week’s episode of Back to Work, I’m sharing how to navigate those moments and keep moving forward. We talk about three practical ways to protect your confidence:
🧘 Pause and feel Allow yourself to feel disappointed without letting it spiral.
🪞 Separate identity from outcome A “no” can be for so many different reasons and is not a reflection of your worth.
🔄 Post-rejection routines Simple steps to reset and keep momentum, so one setback doesn’t derail you.
These strategies aren’t about forcing positivity. They’re about training your nervous system to stay steady and confident, even when the process feels discouraging.
If you’ve been hesitating to hit “apply” or second-guessing yourself after interviews, this episode is for you. Listen here and get back in the game.
In your corner, always,
Carrie
